I'm 19, and I've worn a wristwatch for the last 10 years, at least. The one I currently have hasn't run down its battery for more than two years, and is comfortable and light enough that I never take it off. As a result, I'm often the only person in a group who knows what time it is.

I'm incredibly violent to things on my wrist. I whack it on door frames, tables, everything. It probably means I'm getting too close to things when I'm walking around, but I heal - watches don't. (yet?)

I'm 18, and have worn a wristwatch since I proved to my parents that I could tell time with an analog clock at the age of 4. I will admit that about 2% of my school wears one though.

I left 19 behind a long time ago; I haven't worn a wrist watch in years, and hated wearing one for many years before that.

The great benefit of a watch is that you can check the time quickly without being obvious about it. This is important when you are meeting with clients or involved in any other kind of important or potentially sensitive transaction: pulling out your phone to check the time is rude and disruptive, but you often need to know how much time has elapsed so you can bring the meeting to a close if you need to.

I'm often on a tight schedule and being able to check the time once or twice during a meeting without the client noticing is valuable.

Also, they look nice. And if they make me look older, and therefore more experienced, so much the better!

Actually I used to use my cell even when I had a watch.

Looking at my watch is a little too obvious, but I can pull my phone out to quickly -- I could be looking at the time, or expecting an urgent message from a family member, or maybe something really important was said during the meeting that I want to write a quick note ...
